MOORE, OF WESTBROOK, OONNEGTIOUT.l

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making pan: of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. MOORE, of' Westbrook, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented a new andnsefnl Mode of Making Lamp-chimneysand Cones; and I do hereby declare'that the following is t full and exact description of tlie'same, reference being also had to the accompanyingdrawings and'to the letters of ret'- erenee'marked thereon.

The nature of my invent-ion consists in blowing a lamp-chinmey and a cone together in one piece, in one and/the same mold, and at one operation or blowing, and in a manner that they readily separate from each other.

The drawings- Figure l is designed to represent a 'chimney and a cone thus blown.

The contour of fig. l shows the internalvform oi' the mold in which it is made.

The V'shaped projection (the same being a groove in this mold) at a a, is the blow-over or out-01T,

with `which the mold is provided, it beingthe base of the chimney, and the'base of the cone, and the point of separation ot' the two articles.

The glass blows so thin into the said blow-over or groove that the two articles naturally, drop apart, or are readily separated by a light rap.

The common Inode of making chimneys oreones is to blowvthem separately and to make Vonly one cone or one chimney inone mold at one operation orblowing, the glass blowingover or thin at the bottom; also at the topof the mold.

By my inventioua; chimney and a cone are blown together in the same mold at one operation, the glass blowing over at three points, viz., at the top and b'ottom of the mold, and attire desired point of separating the-'chimney and cone.

With any mold-oliimneya cone may thas be blown, and at a very small additionnleost.

It i'svobvions that two. cones or two chimneys may be made together in the same manner.

.'llieobject of my invention is to lessen the-cost of making cones and chimneys. l

Having thas described my invention,

`What I claim is- The mode of blowing lamp-chimneys and cones ,'or two or more articles, together, with the View 0f separating them from each other, substantially as and for the object set forth.

' CHARLES A. MOORE.
